2024 Map of Benteen

About this map

The Little Bighorn River cuts a lush path through the center of this Big Horn County landscape, supporting a ranching and agricultural economy centered on the settlement of Benteen. The river's influence is reinforced by the Reno Canal, which traces the eastern valley edge to provide irrigation for the Little Bighorn Valley. Surrounding the riparian corridor, the terrain rises into a series of drainages and ridges, including Shoulder Blade Creek and Bear-in-Middle Creek to the northwest, and a complex network of southern waters like Sand Creek and South Sand Creek.
